 When I run the following statement, I see the result as shown below:
select LOCALITY, sum(GRANSIZE) gransize from sys.x$ksmge group by
LOCALITY
;

  LOCALITY        SUM_GRANSIZE
---------- ---------------
       129   3,254,779,904
         5   2,130,706,432
         1   2,147,483,648
         2   2,130,706,432
         3   2,130,706,432
         0   2,147,483,648
         4   2,130,706,432
           ---------------
sum         16,072,572,928

I understand that numbers 0-5 refer to the memory boards on the system.
In my case there are six boards (24 dual-core CPUs) and each board has
memory on it. What does number 129 refer to?

Personally, I love it when ASSM forces the shared pool to 3x the size of
the buffer cache, by taking memory _away_ from the buffer cache.

That's fantastic.  Gotta love it.

I know, I know. "Bind Variables".  Tell that to PeopleSoft who is Oracle
:)

Amir,

The frequency depends on the memory pressure. I am not aware whether
there are any fixed  intervals , where MMAN checks the memory
allocations. However you can trace the operations using
"_memory_management_tracing".
